The water quality at Mankyeong River was surveyed 13 sites of main stream for 6 months from April to September in 1995 and 1997. The monthly average value of $NH_4-N$, $SO_4^{2-}$ and $Cl^-$ showed the highest peak in April while that of $NO_3-N$ showed the highest peak in August. The monthly average value of COD showed the highest peak in September at high temperature season. Concentrations of $NH_4-N$ and $SO_4^{2-}$ in Mankyeong River stream exceeded the standard water quality criteria in many sites. The water quality of Mankyeong River stream was not suitable for the irrigation source excepted the sites such as Hari, Gosan stream and Soyang stream. The floodgate of Mokcheon, Yocheon, Jeonju and Samcheon stream were rapidly polluted by the sewage of city, otherwise the Iksan stream was rapidly polluted by the sewage of swine. The sum of ionic concentrations in Mankyeong River stream was the highest at floodgate of Yocheon by influence of the sewage from city and industry. The order of the major anions and cations concentration in Mankyeong River stream were $SO_4^{2-}$ > $Cl^-$ > $NO_3-N$ > $SO_4^{3-}$ and $Na^+$ > $Ca^{2+}$ > $NH_4^+$ > $Mg^{2+}$ > $K^+$, respectively.

Meridians are often defined as passway of Ki and Blood or something that can control funtions of the body. It is true but I think meridians have something more than that. Meridians are not just passway of Ki and Blood, rather they receive Ki from outside and transform it into Essence-Ki(精氣). If we draw a line in a body, we have Chang-Pu inside and meridians outside. Chang-Pu whim is inside our body hold Essence-Ki and manipulate it. These Chang-Pu also have variation of Ki accumulation-Tai-Yang, Soyang, T'ae$\breve{u}$m, Soum. Nevertheless, their gradients are not great so Ki flow among them are not great either. If there are much Ki flow in our body there will be much Ki consumption resulting in exhaustion of Essence-Ki, which is very hard to acquire. Therefore Chang-Pu keeps less gradient by not moving Ki a lot to preserve Essence-Ki. Chang-Pu, inside, are suitable for storing Ki while meridians, outside, are for producing Ki. Meridinas have great difference in Ki accumulation so there are great flow of Ki. This nature is suitable for producing Ki. For example, roots and limbs of a tree don't have much gradient in Ki. They are concentrated and their shape are not very distinct. On the other hand, leaves are wide and it's easy to tell front from back. It means their Ki gradient is great and their Ki flow is also great. Therefore they suitable for producing Ki. Just like this, meridians in our body are suitable for producing Ki. Areas that meridians cover are much wider than that of Chang-Pu. Four limbs and surface of our body are very distinctive. Ulnar side is high in Ki accumulation but is small in volume so it's better to store Ki there. Radial side is low in Ki accumulation but big in volume so it's better to receive and consume Ki there. Meridians are deeply involved in producing and storing Ki.

"Dong-uisusebowon("東醫壽世保元")", written by Ijema(李濟馬), is about the treatment and prevention of diseases according to the four constitutions, Soeum, Soyang, Taeeum and Taeyang. He presents a precise pathogenic mechanism along with specific treatment methods of the Ulgwang(鬱狂) Syndrome which are Seungbo(升補) and Ikgiseung-yang[益氣而升陽] in comparing Mang-yang(亡陽) and Ulgwang Syndromes. However, in the case of the Mang-yang Syndrome, he merely presents formulas without mentioning details of the treatment methods. In this study, the formulas of the Mang-yang Syndrome and Ulgwang Syndrome were thoroughly compared and analyzed, leading to the conclusion that the concept of the Ikgi(益氣) method matches that of the Bojung-ikgitang(補中益氣湯) of Idongwon(李東垣), consisted of ingredients such as Ginseng, Radix Astragali, Radix Angelicae Gigantis, Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae etc,, and the concept of Seung-yang matches that of Gyejitang(桂枝湯). Furthermore, we have examined the addition of Radix Aconti Lateralis Preparata[附子] to the Ikgiseung-yang[益氣而升陽] method to be aimed at restoring the Yanggi(陽氣). Lastly, through comparison of formulas according to the progress of the Mang-yang Syndrome and Ulgwang Syndrome, we have presented a more detailed explanation of the concept of each treatment methods: the Mang-yang Syndrome focuses more on Seung-yang(升陽), Ulgwang leans more towards Ikgi(益氣).

This study analyzes hydrometeorologic changes after a dam construction, and develops a model related to estimating the geographical boundary hour far hydrometeorologic changes could happen due to a dam construction. The model is applied to several dams, namely Seomjin Dam, Soyang Dam, Andong Dam, and Chungju Dam. Throughout estimating the correlation between albedo and recycling coefficients, the result confirms that the land use changes by dam construction are the critical factor on the recycling of the water in the air. It is also shown that the geographical boundary is highly related to the surface area of a dam. Finally, this model is expected to be applied to estimate its boundary of hydrometeorologic changes by a new dam construction.

This study examines the applicability of the Nash model and the Diskin model, which are linear and nonlinear runoff models, respectively, by applying optimization techniques to the parameter calibration of the two models. Nonlinear programming which is one of traditional optimization techniques and Genetic Algorithm which has been actively applied recently are used in this study. The Nash and Diskin models which use the calibrated parameter with a flood events are applied to a different flood event in Soyang Dam basin. The results obtained from the parameter calibration show slight discrepancy depending upon the flood events. It has been found in the comparion between the observed hydrograph and the hydrographs obtained from the parameter calibration that the Diskin model can better simulate the observed hydrograph than the Nash model can, especially, for the peak flow. This can be analyzed that the Diskin model which is a nonlinear runoff model is better off in simulating the nonlinear characteristic of the rainfall-runoff process.

다목적댐의 레크레이션 편익은 수자원 관리 측면에서 매우 중요한 요소이다. 그러나, 레크레이션 편익의 중요성에도 불구하고 이에 대한 충분한 고려없이 댐의 관리와 다목적댐에 대한 평가가 이루어진 결과 경쟁적인 물의 용도간 부적정한 유량배분의 결과를 초래하고 있었다. 최근 비록 시범적이지만 하천의 환경개선을 위해 다목적댐의 flusing 방류가 이루어지고 잇는 점도 댐의 기능이 점차 확장되어 가고 있음을 보여주고 있다. 다목적댐의 레크레이션 편익에 대한 인식은 효율적인 수자원 관리뿐만 아니라 레크레이션 이외의 다목적댐의 다른 용도의 진실된 가치 및 효율성을 확보하기 위해 어떻게 효율적으로 시간의 흐름에 따라 다목적댐의 저수(貯水)가 방류되어야 하는지에 대한 이해로 연결된다. 다목적댐의 레크레이션 편익 측정은 댐의 역할에 대한 진정한 평가가 될 수 있으며 그동안 간과되어 왔던 댐 건설로 인해 가능하게 된 레크레이션 기회를 가치화하는 시도가 될 수 있다. 본 연구는 조건부가치측정법(Contingent Valuation Method, CVM)을 이용하여 서울과 춘천지역을 대상으로 표본에 대한 설문조사와 함께 집중그룹인터뷰(Focus Group Interview, FGI)를 통해 소양강댐의 레크레이션 편익을 측정하였다. 서울은 소양강댐의 하류지역에 위치하면서 일반적으로 소양강댐의 건설로 인해 가장 큰 혜택을 누리는 지역이며 춘천지역은 소양강댐의 주변지역으로 소양강댐의 건설로 인해 가장 많은 피해를 입는 지역으로 여겨지고 있어 양 지역에서 느끼는 소양강댐에 대한 인식은 매우 독특할 것이라는 기대와 함께 댐으로 인한 레크레이션은 댐 저수지뿐만 아니라 댐 하류 하천 전체에 걸쳐 이루어지기 때문에 댐 저수지 지역인 춘천과 댐 하류지역인 서울을 대상지역으로 삼았다. 4개의 시나리오를 적용한 결과 소양강댐의 연간 레크레이션 편익은 235억원$\sim$913억원으로 추정되어 소양강댐의 주요 기능인 용수공급이나 발전에 따른 편익과 비교할 때도 결코 작지 않은 편익을 보여주고 있다. 아울러, 일반적으로 댐 건설로 인한 피해자로 인식되고 있는 하천의 상류지역인 댐 주변지역에 거주하는 사람들의 지불의사액(Willingness to Pay, WTP)이 댐의 수혜자로 인식되는 하류지역에 거주하는 사람들의 WTP보다 크다는 것과 댐 주변지역에 거주하는 사람들은 댐에 대하여 양 극단적인 태도, 즉 강한 애착과 강한 반감을 함께 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 레크레이션 기능이 댐의 주요 기능으로 고려되어야 하는 가에 대한 해답을 줄 수 있는데, 그동안 댐의 레크레이션 편익 측정을 어렵게 하였던 댐의 레크레이션 편익의 개념화를 통해 편익이 측정 가능하며 소양강댐의 경우 다른 목적의 물 사용 용도보다 편익이 클 수 있기 때문에 향후 다목적댐의 주요 기능을 확장할 필요성을 보여준다. 또한, 레크레이션 편익을 어떻게 내재화(內在化)하여야 하는지에 대한 향후 연구의 필요성도 제기한다.

Food service management without nutrition education in school foodservice is hardly to improve nutritional status of school children. Therefore, this study was attempted to evaluate the effectiveness of nutrition education. The nutrition education was done for 82 5th grade children of 2 elementary school in Inchon. It has been performed for two month from Sep. 6 to Nov. 11, 1999. Also, to evaluate the effects of nutrition education, subjects were taken pretest for food habit, attitude, nutrition knowledge, and dietary intake through the questionnaires. The statistical analysis of data was completed using SPSS program. The results were summarized as follows : 1) The average height and weight for subjects are 141cm and 34.4kg. Most of the subjects had 2 siblings. 83.8% of the subjects has never been taken nutrition education. Otherwise, 85.2% of the subjects responded that they need a nutrition education. 2) For the food habit test results, the posttest mean scores increased. Food habit on vegetables showed significant difference between pretest and posttest(p<0.05). 3) The attitude test did not show the significant difference between pretest and posttest. 4) For the nutrition knowledge test result, the pre and posttest means were 47.59 and 57.12 respectively(p<0.001). 5) The correlations of food habit, attitude, and nutrition knowledge was positive relationship between food habit and attitude in the pre and posttest. 6) Intake frequency of foods increased for the most foods except meat, egg, milk, and drink as compaired pretest with posttest. Cereal, fish, and oil intake was significantly increased. 7) The intakes of most nutrients were increased, among which carbohydrate, fiber, calcium, and vitamin C intakes significantly different after education. The education period of this study was too short to improve their eating behavior and food choice and may need a long-term education and development of materials for nutrition education.

During studies of the fish fauna and communities of Mankyeong River, which flows to the Yellow Sea, 14 families in 44 genera and 63 species of freshwater fishes were caught. Zacco platypus (27.7%) was the dominant species and Z. koreanus (11.3%) the subdominant species in this river. Twenty-three species of Korean endemic fishes appeared, and two of these, Pseudopungtungia nigra and Liobagrus obesus, represented endangered Korea species. Community structure of each branch stream was stable, showing appropriate dominant species: Z. koreanus in Jeonju Stream, Z. platypus in Kosan and Soyang Streams, and Carassius auratus in Mankyeong main stream. Three introduced species appeared: C. cuvieri, Micropterus salmoides, and Lepomis macrochirus. Among these introduced species, M. salmoides expanded its territory from midstream to downstream because of its strong carnivorous tendency and it favoring of lentic waters. This distribution of M. salmoides affected the number and distribution of small native freshwater fishes, especially those in the subfamily Acheilognathinae.

In order to determine the current infection status of pond smelts, Hypomesus olidus, and other freshwater fishes with trematode metacercariae, a total of 4,861 pond smelts and 18 other freshwater fishes, collected from the Soyang and Uiam Lakes in Gangwon-do, the Unam Lake in Jeollabuk-do, the Jangseong Lake in Jeollanam-do, the Uirim-ji (lake) in Chungcheongbuk-do, and the Andong Lake in Gyeongsangbuk-do, were individually digested with 1 % pepsin-HCI and examined under a dissecting microscope. In all pond smelts caught from the 6 lakes, we were unable to detect any known human infectious trematode metacercariae in Korea. However, in other freshwater fishes, such as, Squalidus japonicus coreanus (Unam Lake), and Zacco platypus (Jangseong Lake) and Opsariichthys uncirostris amurensis (Jangseong Lake), metacercariae of human-infecting trematodes, i.e., Clonorchis sinensis and Metagonimus sp. were detected, respectively.
